Jan Allison Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

I Must Give Up Swinging

I was swinging from my glass chandelier
Lost my grip and landed smack on my rear
Banged my head and blood poured out of my ear
I screamed expletives nobody should hear!

The ache in my bum was very severe
Sobbing with pain I shed a salty tear
An ambulance was called, it was soon here

The driver said 'oh not you again dear ..
you need to stay sober and keep off beer…
It’s the second time you’ve done this this year'!
